the reason that the words spoken rapidly
could be better understood, but in the
conversational passages the foreign
accent of the lady is taking
in the extreme. Her presence is
so pleasing that it cannot fail
to take with everyone, and to this is due
a great part of her success. There is
nothing great or nothing striking in her
acting, but there is an even effectiveness
which keeps the audience spell-bound
and wins in the end The play is thor
oughly suited to the Madame's style, and
she could not fit the part better had the
piece been written for her.
Her support was excellent, Frank Aiken
filling the lead male role to the entire
satisfaction OF the audience. Mr.. Moore,
as Frederick, was very funny, in fact, he
was whole picnic in himself, and the
way he worked up his scenes was very
commendable. Mr.. Cooper, Mr.. Enos
and Miss Karsner were all the right peo-
pie in the right places, and the minor
parts were equally well filled.
The play will be repeated again to-
night.

RAILWAY RUMBLES.
Widening the T.. g. N. Gauge
ssAnd 1t Came to Pass.1

"And IL Came to Pass.''
The clearest explanation we have
heard of the plans of the Utah & North
ern for widening its gauge early in July
is given by General Agent Baldwin, oil
the Union Pacific office. He says that OF
the 263 miles of road this side OF Poca-
tello, all but thirty miles is now laid
with new steel rails, which have taken
the place of the old rails of the narrow
gauge. The thirty miles of track yet to
be replaced is this side OF Red Rock.
When they get ready to change to stand
ard gauge all they will have to do will
be TO spread the rails. Before doing
this the spikes which are to be outside OF
the rails will be driven partially in along
the entire line. The rails will need only
to be spread out against these spikes
then one blow will tighten the spikes,
and all that will remain will be to drive
the spikes inside the rails. New broad
gauge ties take the place of every second
narrow gauge enc, which will be all the
change in the ties that will be necessary.
The widening of the gauge will be done
all IN one day, and only one train will
miss.-Inter-M Mountain
1t is said that the pennsylvania has
now resumed passes to newspaper men,
having metamorphosed them into econ
tracts" says the RaiIWay Gazette, and
some of the western roads have resumed
the issuing of passes to stockmen in
charge of cattle. 1t becomes more and
more apparent that the summary cutting
off of passes on the first of April was, as
it seemed to be at the time, in many
cases merely device for "squarring the
books" and beginning on fresh page,
as has been done so many times before.
The field becomes so infested with
noXious weeds that it once in a while
needs to be 'plowed under" and new
set of plants started. 1t is to be hoped
that the old imposition (or farce, as it
often proved to be- of requiring the re-
ciplents of these tickets to surrender all
their rights will not be re-enacted. When
a ride is manifestly included in the price
paid, as in the case of shipments of car
loads of cattle, or when it is clearly given
for a definite consideration, as the
managers now say is the fact in the case
of publishers passes, the exacting of the
agreement to not hold the carrier liable,
ETC., savers very strongly of the quality
vulgarly termed cheek" If passes are
to be given after all, the conditions should
be simple, open and legal.

uTAH,s EXHIBITION.
Let Us Have an Exhibition or Fair
in the Fail.


There is little talk of having fair in
the fall. This is proper, and all who are
Interested should continue to talk until
the matter assumes a definite shape.
Why not, with our increased facilities,
get up rousing good exhibit of the prod
ucts Of this Territory, and have the ex-
hibit kept open for many days that those
who visit the city during the fall months
may have an opportunity of viewing
our resources and products at glance.
Secure some suitable place and there
erect temporary buildings and the neces-
sary stalls for stock, and in addition to
this let us start early enough in the sea-
son to get the subject and the event we'll
before the people of this Territory and
those States and Territories adjoining.
Who will take the matter in
hand, call meeting of the
business men, the mining men
the stockmen, the mechanics, the artists,
and in fact any and all who are anxious
to see Utah and her wonderful natural
resources, her products and her cities
come to the front. Why delay in the
matter? Let us have a roundup for once
and give the old Territory a chance
10 be proud. See TO 1t that the word
is sent out to the citizens inviting
them to participate in the carnival. Let
Utah, through her products and resources
appeal to those seeking homes to come
within her borders and assist in making
what nature destined should be made
here, the garden spot, the cabi-
net of valuable minerals of the
West. Other cities call thousands to
visit them, and they come to see
exhibitions gotten up by the articles of
men. The citizens do this of their own
accord being for seeing enough to know
that every dollar expended will. return to
them ten-fold. We have an exhibition all
ready,it simply requires the arrangement
in proper order of the things we have to
make splendid showing and a credita-
BILE exhibition.
The DEMOCRAT heartily supports the
proposition.

SPORTING SPARKS.
The Billiard Game and the Base
Rail Match

The BILLIARD Game and the Base
Ball Match.
The billiard match between Josh Davis
and Josh Arthur was PLAYED in the
Walker House bar room last night. The
contest was SO close that no one could
guess the winner until the last run was
made. Davis scored 400 points in ITO
innings, his average being 70-11O, and
longest run 20. Arthur scored 492 points
in ITO innings, his average being4 56-l09,
and longest run %. At the close of the
game Mr.. Phelps, after few appropriate
remarks, presented Mr.. Davis with a
handsomely pen ornamented score.
Arthur accepted the defeat gracefully.
THE BALL GAME.
The base ball game played on Wash
ington Square between the Nationals
and Butchers, resulted in walk-oyer by
the former. One or two innings, when
the Nationals played in their regular po-
sitions, no runs were scored by the
Butchers. But in order that the game
would not be so one-sided, a change of
pitcher was made. The score resulting
from this game was "a to 15 After the
game George Williams and William
Schweiker run 100 yard foot race for a
500 purse, which resulted in defeat for
the former. Next Saturday the Nationals
will meet the Silver Grays, who, since
their last game, have been diligently
practicing. The game will undoubtedly
be the hardest match ever played bv the
Nationals, and if yesterdays playing is
anything to judge from, their defeat is

MINES AND MINING.
New Arrangements At the Daily
Other Notes.


In about one week hence, work on the
DAILY mine at Park City will be discon-
tinued for few days, in order that the
new engine, which is to be used on their
double compartment shaft, may be placed
on its foundation, and the proper con-
nection made. The mine never looked
better before. Large bodies of ore are
being exposed in all parts, SO that when
the shaft is completed, double the num-
Der OF men now at work, can stope, and
mine, to advantage.
Charles Read, Secretary OF the King of
the West Mining Company, arrived from
Salt Lake City this morning, and left for
the mine, in Smoky, this afternoon, in
company with George Black and George
Montgomery. They will return to HALEY
Thursday or Friday.-Wood River Times.

MADAME JANISH.
She Plays Princess Andrea to a Fair
Audience.

Madame Janish, the Countess Arco.
appeared before Salt Lake audience for
the first time last evening, in the great
comedy-drama, princess Andrea, and
made an. impression of which she may
well be proud.
The lady's acting is OF that quiet, gen.
tie character which sways an audience
where torrents of passion cannot move
them. Her influence over the audience
is something wonderful-the inspiration
felt upon gazing into a still lake, bab-
bling brook, or a ripping river, with no
thing OF the awe inspired by a cataract
and none of the grandeur felt for natures
greater works-all in simple sweetness
and gentle suasion. The one defect
is in the accent and it is only in a few
passages that this can be called defect.
while for the most part it is an additional
charm. With pure English enuncia-
ton, some of the emotional passages
might be rendered with better effect for

Mike Flemming, who was arrested
this morning by one of the officers, asked
on his arrival at the Marshal's office,
what charge was to be brought against
him. In reply the Marshal told him
that he was miserable looking wretch,
and it was merely through their kindness
of heart that they run him in where he
would receive some good attention.
Mike then spoke in a most touching
way: $50 zee can find nobody to say as

all that can be brought agin poor old
Mike is that poverty and trials have
made him sn eyesore to dacent people.

KATE FIELD.
What the ssTImes-Democrat,, Saws
of Her Lecture.

- @---N ~ says
of Her Lecture.
Miss Kate Fields incisive, vigorous
lectures on the Mormon problem have
been stimulating and suggestive, as Miss
Field always is, and her earnestness and
deep convictions and clearness of state
ment regarding this national problem
make her lectures profoundly impressive.
The signs of the times now seem to
indicate that we are beginning to
see the determination polygamy.
1t is to the work of Miss Kate
Field more than to any other source, that
this disintegLation of Mormon treason is
due. Other travellers to Utah have made
but the briefest stays, and have been
ready to gloss over the tale. Miss Field
has told the truth about it, and she has
done it with a courage, vigor, an hon
esty, and power that has made her one
OF the most potent influences in the ma
tional life of to-day.-Nec Orleans Times

This morning the plaintiff introduced

ELMINA DRAKE SLENKER FREE.
Tie trial of Mrs Slenker began Oct.
31st and continued to Oct. 4th, at Alb
ingdon, Va. The charge was mailing
obscene literature and she was arrested
and tried under the Infamous Com
stock law, and the information was
furnished by one of the COmstOck
spies and informers, who resorted to
the usual hypocrisy, lying and false
name in order to entrap the lady.
AS stated heretofore in the AD-
VANCE, the matter mailed WAS Of a sci
entitc nature, that is, facts relating to
sociology. and were private papers
from u number which Mrs. Slenker is
accumulating for a work on the sub
ject,
The prejudice and feeling at Abing-
don, it seems, was bitter against Mrs.
Slenker, as she WAS known to be a
''Ninfdel" or Free Thought writer.
aud the community appears to have
been in sympathy with Comstock and
his methods in entrappiug and perse-
cutting infidels. The jury. therefore,
promptly found Mrs. s. guilty. They
wished to send her to prison because
she WAS an infidel, and on the ground
of having sent private papers of a SCI
entific nature through the mails.
This is a fair sample of an American
orthodox jury-just such as Comstock
generally secures in New York.
But in Virginia the judge was of a
different stamp. Comstock boasted
that he never failed to convict when
he brought his victims before the
prejudiced aud bigoted Judge Bene-
dict. But Judge Paul. OF Virginia. is
beyond the influence of the Comstock
Society. and he therefore sustained
the motion in arrest of judgment on
the ground that the indictment was
"defective because it does not allege
that the defendant knew that the
writings. ETC., were 0f an obscene,
lewd and lascivious character"
Mrs. Slenker was therefore released
and returned to her home amid the re.
joicing and the congratulations of her
friends. And her friends. are legion
throughout the United States. Long
may she live to do good by her
writings.
On theological questions we do not
agree with her at all. We are more in
accord with the infamous Comstock
when it comes to belief in u personal
God and an overruling Providence.
But we despise Comstock and honor
and respect Elmina Drake Slenker.
The one is wretched, prosecuting
hypocritical bigot, an enemy to free
Thought and free speech, while the 9th
or is an honest, sincere truth seeker.
tolerant and liberal, a friend of re-
hgious liberty, and a pure-hearted.
pure-lived wife and mother.
